DON GIOVANNI

In the organizer's words:

Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte.

"Chi è morto, voi o il vecchio?" quips the servant Leporello slyly after his master Don Giovanni has murdered the Commendatore. The story of the punished libertine has long since become a myth. Don Giovanni takes place in the field of tension between a top and a bottom. Just as opposites collide in this dramma giocoso between longing for love and the fall from hell. There is no clarity in this kaleidoscope of situations and characters, which is evident from the fact that all the characters lie - either to others or to themselves. The well-known comedy motifs of changing roles and swapping clothes take on an oppressive ambiguity. The quick-change artist Don Giovanni, this poly-erotic man of pleasure, is difficult to grasp. In endless metamorphoses, he appears just as suddenly as he disappears again immediately afterwards. The other characters know that they need him as a mirror of themselves. And so Leporello's question about the demise of his master can only be answered by saying that Don Giovanni leads an eternal life and will always occupy us anew.

This Don Giovanni completes the new Da Ponte cycle. "Faust" prizewinner David Hermann is staging it for the first time at the Bayerische Staatsoper. General Music Director Vladimir Jurowski conducts the work in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart opened the doors to a new world from which there is no turning back.
